Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup mango chunks
- 1 cup pineapple pieces
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Optional
- Handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and slice kiwis, cut mango and pineapple into bite-sized chunks, and measure out the blueberries.
- Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice and honey until fully combined, creating a bright, sticky dressing that will coat the fruits beautifully.
- Toss the Salad: Gently combine all the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and toss lightly to ensure every piece is evenly coated without crushing the delicate berries.
- Add Fresh Mint: Chop a handful of fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for an aromatic, refreshing layer of flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Choose ripe fruits: Ripe fruits deliver the best sweetness and texture for this salad.
- Cut fruits uniformly: Even-sized pieces make the salad easier to eat and more visually appealing.
- Be gentle when tossing: Use a spatula or large spoon to avoid bruising softer berries.
- Adjust honey and lime: Tweak the amount of honey or lime juice to match your personal taste—more lime for tang, more honey for sweetness.
- Add nuts last: If using nuts, sprinkle on top just before serving to keep them crunchy.
